Recreational Cyclocross and GravelbikingThis has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like :The Dirty Kanza". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

VERY local to VB is Trashmore. Another course that is close is Bennetts Creek in Suffolk.
Trashmore has the hills that can make is painful (but thats part of the fun) and Bennetts Creek is flat but has some technical sections but nothing that beginner can't handle.
